Coaching career started as a college team coach

At first, no one raised their hands to speak.

Wei Le gave Jota a look, and Jota understood that this was asking him to interact. So he looked around for a while and raised his hand. Wei Le motioned for Jota to speak.

"Feelings... The biggest feeling is that I found that I didn't seem to have a clear understanding at the beginning, and I didn't know where we were going."

"Later, when I chatted with everyone, I found that many people were actually in the same state as me. We discussed it later and almost reached a consensus."

After Jota finished speaking, he sat down and Wei Le gave him a thumbs up. Jota started, and everyone let go. So the scene became lively and everyone gradually began to speak freely.

Van de Beek said that he found that even his best friend De Paul in the team had differences with him on the issue of team goals. De Paul felt that the team could be in the top half of the league, while Van de Beek expected the team to break the deadlock of the BIG6 and rush to the Champions League zone like Leicester City.

Except for a small number of people who have a clear understanding of the team's goals and personal development, most players have just made up their minds.

"This is actually quite abnormal, isn't it?" Wei Le chose his words carefully and concluded.

Everyone nodded.

The players certainly knew the importance of goals, and they just realized that they had been drifting for four games. If they continue to drift, it will definitely lead to adverse consequences.

"In the future, our training will have an extra link, which is to determine the next stage of goals." Wei Le said, "Today is the first class, and we will have such a meeting every month in the future."

"Only I, a member of the coaching staff, will be present, so everyone can relax. I will explain our views to everyone on behalf of the coaching staff. If you have other ideas, you can also tell me, and we will set goals together."

Wei Le paused, moved the whiteboard to the front, and wrote the four words "League", "Europa League", "FA Cup" and "League Cup" on it, leaving a large blank space below.

"I won't talk about the coaching team's plan now. I want to hear the results of your discussion. Based on your understanding of the team, how many places can we rank in the league? How far can we go in the Europa League? Should we compete for the League Cup or the FA Cup?"

Rodri spoke on behalf of a circle of people around him. He thought that Wolves could just make it to the quarterfinals in the Europa League. But in the league, he felt that the team could guarantee a seventh or eighth place in the league, and in the FA Cup or League Cup, Rodri doubted whether the team had such a bench depth to support three or even four lines of operations.

The defense group was spoken by Alphonso Davies. The young man felt that Wolves were aiming for the championship in the Europa League, but it would be good to have a final ranking in the upper half of the league. They all wanted to play a role in the FA Cup, but forget about the League Cup.

In terms of the forward line, Jota said that they all wanted to play a role in both the Europa League and the league. They felt that with the Wolves' offensive power, they could fully guarantee a Champions League seat.

What made Wei Le happy was that everyone participated in it and everyone was indeed discussing it seriously. This is also what Wei Le wants to achieve - thinking.

If Wei Le is asked to choose "high school" or "university", Wei Le will still choose university.

Why?

Because if Wei Le is in high school, when he does not need to make decisions and cannot make decisions by himself, it is impossible for him to think about his future, and of course he will never become what he is now, a head coach.

The option of working in football is against the current in China's environment.

I am afraid that even if he has a system, he will only reluctantly keep it in his heart and continue his studies. And it is precisely because of university that he has the ability to decide his own future. He thinks about how to live his life and make his decisions.

Players are not machines.

Players are also people, and they also have their own careers, which is different from games. In games, no matter how detailed the simulation is, it is just a display of the set program.

And this is reality.

The players' knowledge level may not be high, but they are not fools. They are already adults. They have seen a lot of things and have their own judgments on many things.

Wei Le hopes that the goal of his team is agreed by all players, and it is best if everyone sets it together, so that everyone is willing to take the initiative to achieve this goal, rather than just being forced to punch in and out of get off work due to the terms of the contract.

In the end, the game goals of the Wolves players are basically consistent with the expectations given by the coaching staff. The players are more optimistic than the coaching staff. They believe that the Wolves can guarantee the firstThe Wolves are ranked around 5th, and the coaching staff thinks that the final 7th place is enough to get a place in the Europa League play-offs.

As for the Europa League, the Wolves players and coaches have the same opinion, that is, to aim for the top four and go for the championship.

For the Europa League, the strength gap between the teams is very large. This season, the powerful Atletico Madrid and Dortmund are also participating teams in the Europa League, including Atalanta and Lyon, two opponents in the same group.

But at the same time, there are also many teams that are not outstanding in strength, including some teams in the Central European National League. In the final analysis, as long as the draw goes smoothly, the Wolves can look further ahead.

As for the short-term goals, Wei Le looked at the players in front of him and said.

"As you can see, we are about to face two strong teams, Atalanta and Manchester City. You all know their strengths without me telling you." Wei Le said, "If you pay attention to social media, many people say that Atalanta has drawn a good draw."

"Many people also say that Manchester City has started the season very smoothly."

Wei Le observed everyone's expressions and found that some players were unhappy with such statements. Of course, after all, they are a group of young people, who can be willing to obey whom?

Wei Le felt that the time had come, so he made his long-considered decision.

"But if we just give the victory to the opponent as those netizens who don't understand football said, it would not be the Wolves." Wei Le said firmly, "Therefore, my goal for the two games is to fight for victory in both games!"

No one had any objections.

Everyone has seen the news on the Internet to some extent.

For the current positioning of the Wolves, most people still think that it is just an excellent relegation team, and going to the Europa League is also a gift boy, especially in the Premier League.

Drawing with Manchester United was just luck, and being defeated by Tottenham and Chelsea is the normal level.

In the next game against Atalanta, the odds given by some bookmakers show that basically no one thinks Wolves have a chance to win, and this is even more true for the next league match against Manchester City.

"No team is without flaws, and Atalanta and Manchester City can also be defeated." Wei Le said, "Now, I am sure of your thoughts and know that we are of the same mind. Next, let our coaching staff take over."

"To be honest, it feels good to be underestimated by the whole world." Wei Le said with a smile, "This way, when we make some earth-shaking creations, the applause and cheers will surely be more beautiful."
